That's an interesting idea, though we would want HSX to mimic Cantor Exchange, with the idea you would migrate to real money. ;) {nm}
Soliciting Feedback: What if MovieStocks no longer halt and adjust during the opening weekend of a wide release? Feb 23, 15:44
ok... Feb 23, 15:59
OP says that .OW's would halt like current moviestocks do. {nm} Feb 23, 16:01
I know. I never said otherwise. {nm} Feb 23, 16:09
So the price wouldn't change with estimates. {nm} Feb 23, 16:29
yes they would, due to trading {nm} Feb 23, 16:32
OK, gotcha, I was refferring to predictions. {nm} Feb 23, 16:34
i no like it. i enjoy the artificial instant adjust up and the free cash from obvious shorts. {nm} Feb 23, 16:16
i love this idea {nm} Feb 23, 23:21
You'd also get rid of the calls and puts, right? If you do, there won't be any more OW arbitrages. {nm} Feb 23, 16:00
I like it. {nm} Feb 23, 16:07
Does the Cantor exhange just trade securites during the hours that the North American stock exchanges are open? {nm} Feb 23, 16:09
as far as i kno its continuously active. {nm} Feb 23, 16:22
thats going to be a crazy late fri night! It would takeout some of the fun of risking 50K shares on the OW though... Feb 23, 16:15
Good point. I would probably stop playing most MovieStocks openers until at least the Friday estimates came out. Feb 23, 16:26
Yea, you'd have to raise the 10k cap to at least 20-25k {nm} Feb 23, 16:25
would it be possible to make this work while having at least some halt period? Feb 23, 16:31
That's an interesting idea, though we would want HSX to mimic Cantor Exchange, with the idea you would migrate to real money. ;) Feb 23, 17:20
Some players can't afford to play the real money game... {nm} Feb 23, 17:58
Does that mean you'll give us $50,000 REAL dollars to tell us what movie we're seeing this weekend? Feb 23, 19:57
so about the real cantor exchange Feb 25, 19:06
it's regulated like the stock exchange... Feb 25, 20:50
I like it. go for it. {nm} Feb 23, 16:18
For me, taking away the weekend adjust would be a big loss to the game. Even if they are complemented by a .OW derivative, Feb 23, 16:27
can i be in your mafia rogermore? wanna be my neighbor in petville? {nm} Feb 23, 16:34
*blocks adrenalin112 from newsfeed* {nm} Feb 23, 16:36
*pokes rogermore* {nm} Feb 23, 16:43
Forget Petville - come hug me in Pet Society instead *pokes Adrenalin* {nm} Feb 23, 18:39
what would be the incentive for players to hold a moviestock prior to its release? {nm} Feb 23, 16:33
they dont want to pay the 1% commish to sell it off. dunno... {nm} Feb 23, 16:35
None really, just wait for Friday ERC/BOM estimates and buy whichever way the wind is blowing. {nm} Feb 23, 16:38
The expectation that price will rise {nm} Feb 23, 16:41
but if small to mid range ports dont have to risk their money, they wont. and with fewer traders, less movement, right? Feb 23, 16:52
It's logical, especially for wide releases. How it is introduced will be of essence. Currently i am holding "wide" moviestocks Feb 23, 16:51
my thoughts... Feb 23, 16:55
Well, I lost that bet with myself... Feb 23, 17:47
All kidding aside, I do agree with RH said above. {nm} Feb 23, 18:06
I agree with RH also. Don't mess with the best part of the game. {nm} Feb 23, 21:12
Excellent response, Razorhawk. I agree with everything you've written. {nm} Feb 23, 17:48
100% agree... all the fun aspects that make it a game will be gone. {nm} Feb 23, 17:57
I agree with RazorHawk's IM. {nm} Feb 23, 18:37
nice nustshell Feb 23, 19:20
Well, you have to remember that the Cantor Exchange is not a game. {nm} Feb 23, 19:52
Right, but, the point is that I have more fun playing here, than I would making money there. Feb 23, 21:41
that was a good read...you've swayed my opinion as well {nm} Feb 24, 12:34
Wouldn't that take away all the play on a movie while in development? Feb 23, 17:06
I much prefer 50K stocks that halt and adjust now instead of the 10K that will halt and adjust due to this change Feb 23, 17:18
Thoughts Feb 23, 17:25
hmmm facto must be busy hammering out the biggest wiki page of all time right now as his response... {nm} Feb 23, 17:31
who me? lol :-D {nm} Feb 23, 18:17
Hmm... I'm not really a fan especially if movie stocks start behaving like CX derivatives in terms of volatility. Feb 23, 17:37
I'm easy...variety is the spice of life...go for it Feb 23, 20:15
I think CX stocks are too violatile.. let the opening movies halt as usual on weekends.. please do not take away that as well Feb 23, 20:52
Please don't do this... Feb 24, 01:27
Part of HSX's research value is that it has a DIFFERENT trading mentality to Cantor... Feb 24, 01:44
I'd probably stop playing entirely. But that's just me. Feb 24, 04:21
This is a bad idea. Takes away the fun of opening weekend {nm} Feb 24, 06:20
My opinion on HSX converting to Cantor Exchange... Feb 24, 07:17
I'm generally for anything that makes HSX mimic real markets more closely. But Feb 24, 10:38
sounds ok but... Feb 24, 18:07
if it alows you to trade 50,000 shares i'm all for it if it lets you trade 10,000 shares i'm against it {nm} Feb 28, 21:43
this sucks Mar 01, 21:26
After thinking this over for a few days I have to say no to this idea. {nm} Mar 07, 22:03
